Explanation:
1:
In the era of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), one of the treatments for the evil eye (nazar) was that if there was a fear that someone might cast the evil eye, that person would be made to perform ritual bath (ghusl),
and the water from this ritual bath would then be used to bathe the person afflicted by the evil eye.
The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) affirmed the legitimacy of this practice,
and stated that if someone is asked to provide such a ritual bath, he should not take offense, but should perform the ritual bath and give the water used for bathing to the one afflicted by the evil eye.
However, the method of this ritual bath is somewhat different from the regular ritual bath (ghusl).
